* We do of all vet and farrier scheduling. Owner will be responsible for all vet and farrier bills. We suggest that new horses coming in, starting a 5 day Panacur Pak before arriving.

* We highly recommend all of our horses use Equi-spot for the fly months!

* Some of our horses are also on Smart-Pak suppliments that are supplied by the owners, and served by us!

* If your horse requires a different type of special feed or hay supplement such as beet pulp, alfalfa cubes or any extra amounts of grain, "other than the normal amount of grain fed which is already included in the board" to help maintain weight for hard-keepers, we would be glad to serve any of these items for a reasonable additional cost.* If you prefer a completely different feed other than our feeds, you will be responsible to pay for that feed. Depending on supply and demand, there may be a hay surcharge only in the winter months.

Most of our horses that have come to live with us have been performance horses and have participated in a variety of disciplines. They have competed through Grand Prix dressage, Grand Prixjumping, "A" circuit hunters, upper level eventing, foxhunting and now are living the life a horse deserves after giving so much of themselves. So, it is the love of their owners that gives back to their faithful companions to allow them to live out their remaining golden years in a way that is simple, without stress and lazy days eating grass under shade trees with friends!

These horses become part of our lives, and are here with us till the end!

In the event when the time has come to say goodbye, we have an area on our farm that holds a special place for our horses to rest.

Me with a very loving Radius!
